STANDING ARMY OF U. S. / Now that the United States looks like war it might not be uninteresting to see how prepared the United States is for war. The Army Act of 1916���������By the Act of Congress of June 3, 1916, the army was increased from a peace strength of approximately 100,000 to about 208,000; but the total increase 301,920, being made in five equal increments beginning June 30, 1916. Under this Act the army of the U. S. shall consist of the regular army.the volunteer army, the officers reserve corps, the enlisted reserve corps the national guard while in the service of the United States.and such other land forces as are nom or may hereafter be authorized by law. The regular army, including Fate in Store For Orkney and Shetland Kaiser Bargaining With Norway For Redemption of Islands. The following bit of imaginative writing appears in an American jour-: nal.���������Away back in 1469, the King of Norway was in need of cash and pawned the Orkney and Shetland Islands to the then King of Scotland for 60,000 florins. Kaiser Wilhelm wants the islands for a naval base, and is bargaining with Norway for the equity of redemption. Maybe if he buys them he will settle down there after the war. Anyway, if compound interest is to be paid on the 60,000 florins that Norway raised the price will run to about ������20,000,- 000. When can it be said that a bed is not a bed?
